Test System

Assembly

Once the motherboard is in place, you can clearly see that there is loads of space around three sides of the motherboard. Due to the numerous openings, you are not really able to completely hide all cables from view.


Installing an SSD can easily be done on the plate. Simply take it off the motherboard tray and secure the drive with the included screws. Once filled, you may put it back on to the chassis. Thanks to the slight separation between the motherboard tray due to the shape of the tray, you will not have any issues connecting cables to the drives either.


3.5" drives do not require any tools as the white tray may be pulled apart slightly, allowing you to place the drive and then snap things down by squeezing the tray back together. Once filled, it slides right back into one of the two spots and is nice and secure.


To add a power supply, you will need to attach the frame of the chassis first and then slide it into the case from the rear. Once inserted, there is still loads of room, so you won't have to worry about bigger units not fitting. Thanks to the opening on the bottom panel, you may show off the brand and model of your PSU nicely.


With all the hardware in place, everything is quite clean, but you can see where the cable is routed due to the lack of grommets in combination with the sheer number of openings. Turning the case around, all the wiring behind the motherboard tray cleans up nicely with a bit of effort.

Finished Looks

Looking at the fully assembled FSP CMT520, the glow of the 3 fans in the front is really cool. In the rear, the fourth fan will also light up in the same color as the rest naturally. Peeking through the window, it becomes apparent that the cables blend into the background thanks to the solid black metal side panel. I did not put the Halo Cover on, but even without it, the side cover really helps. Be sure to put the Halo Cover down to get that mirror effect of your motherboard reflecting on it!

Fan Colors

You may toggle to various lighting modes thanks to the button on top of the chassis. In addition, there are seven solid colors that may be selected as well.
